Hi bees, just curious about the general opinion on this simply because it’s new territory for me. I was married this past June and I was wondering, if a casual invite doesn’t specifically ask me to come with DH, am I right in assuming that only I’m being invited? It’s not a formal event or invite at all so I’m not offended or anything

I got this text from a girlfriend of mine, she’s single and though I don’t really know her other friends, I know most of them are also single.

Having a birthday get-together at my place on XXXX….let me know if you’ll be able to make it.

I’m assuming there’ll probably be few or no couples there.

Since she didn’t specifically say “let me know if you and Mr. Bug can make it”, I’m assuming that only I’m invited and as such, will be going on my own (DH is not interested in going anyway).

Just out of curiosity though, what would you do if you got a similar invite?

lanibug: depends on the party. If it was something that I knew only a bunch of my girlfriends would be at, I wouldn’t even want to bring DH. If it was a big party, I’d just reply with something like, “I’ll be there! Is it cool if I bring DH or is it just a girls’ get together?”
